<p><strong>(18 Dec) ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings:</strong> After a while, ICC have released the latest updated ICC Men's Test Team Rankings where India is still at the top position. Australia are also the joint number 1 Team in the Test after they decisively beat Pakistan in the Perth Test. </p>

<p>Australia soundingly defeated Pakistan in the first test of the Pakistan Tour of Australia 2023-24. It was an excellent team performance that put Pakistan into the backfoot right from Day 1. Pakistan were lacking an in-form batter who could hold one end and that is where Australia took the game and are now leading the series 1-0.</p>



<p>Like they are ruling ODI and T20I rankings, India are number 1 team in the red ball format too. They have been consistent but one bad performance takes all the credit away from them. India were too good in the red ball format for the past three years as they have played both finals of the World Test Championship but both times were in the losing corner at the end.</p>

<p>In the latest updated ICC Men's Test Team Rankings, India are at the number 1 stop with <strong>118 </strong>ratings in 29 matches. Sharing the number-one spot with India, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/australia/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Australia</a> are the defending ICC World Test Champions. They defeated India in the final of the ICC WTC final 2023 by 209 runs. Australia also have <strong>118</strong> ratings and have played 30 matches.</p>



<p>England are ranked third in the latest ICC Test Team rankings. They have <strong>115</strong> rating points to their name in as many as 43 games. They are then followed by South Africa. India is currently on a tour of South Africa where they are scheduled to play a two-match Test series. South Africa are at four with 104 rating points.</p>



<p>Pakistan were inching closer to the top 5 of the table after two straight victories over Sri Lanka in tests but after the defeat against Australia, they lost a couple of rating points and now sit at number 6 with <strong>92</strong> ratings. </p>

ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings Updated After AUS vs PAK 1st Test | India-Australia Share The Top Spot| Full Men?s Test Standing

icc-mens-test-team-rankings-updated-after-aus-vs-pak-1st-test-india-australia-share-the-top-spot-full-mens-test-standing

<p><strong>(6 Jan) ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings:</strong> Australia have dethroned India from the Number one position in the latest updated ICC Men's Test Team Rankings. Australia have whitewashed Pakistan in a home test series whereas India lost one match to South Africa and hence lost the long-holded number 1 rank among the test-playing nations. </p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-mens-test-team-rankings">ICC Men's Test Team Rankings</a></li></ul></nav></div>

<p>Australia and India both had ratings of 118 before the most recent update, but India had more points and were ranked Number 1. But following a 1-1 draw in their two-match series in South Africa, India dropped one rating point and are currently ranked second. Australia maintained their 118 rating points after defeating Pakistan in the opening two Test matches and they might gain one after the third match win.</p>



<p><strong><em>?Australia?s impressive run at home against Pakistan helped it take the crown of the No. 1 Test team once again, having last held the spot briefly following its WTC Final victory,?</em></strong> the ICC stated in a release.</p>



<p>Australia have also taken India's number one rank in the Latest updated ICC World Test Championship Points Table. Now India is placed at the second position in the World Test Championship points table following its win at Newlands with 54.16 percentage points from four Tests, including two wins, one loss and a draw.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Australia-vs-Pakistan-1.jpg" alt="Australia vs Pakistan: Pat Cummins picks up his third consecutive five-wicket haul in the third test against Pakistan" class="wp-image-124832" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Australia vs Pakistan | Pic:: X ( Australia Cricket)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Australia's supremacy is made apparent in the Australia vs Pakistan series when the home team excels in all aspects. Their success has been largely down to Pat Cummins, who captains the team and meticulously directs the bowling assault.</p>



<p>England are ranked third in the latest ICC Test Team rankings. They have 115 rating points to their name in as many as 43 games. They are then followed by South Africa. India tour of South Africa is recently concluded where the home side won the first test and the visitors excelled in the second. South Africa are at four with 106 rating points.</p>



<p>Pakistan were inching closer to the top 5 of the table after two straight victories over Sri Lanka in tests but after the series defeat against Australia, they lost a couple of rating points and now sit at number 6 with 92 ratings.</p>

<p><strong>(23 Jan) ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings:</strong> The much-anticipated Test series between India and England is around the corner and India are all set to host the English Team for a five-match Test series. India and England are ranked second and third respectively in the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings and both will hustle to end the series and sit on the top of the table. Here we are with the latest updated ICC Men?s Test Team Rankings Before the IND vs ENG Test Series.</p>

<p>Team India were the number-one-ranked team in Test a couple of weeks ago but one loss against South Africa changed the dynamics and India lost a few hard-earned rating points. </p>



<p>At the same time, Australia, who were ranked second, were engaged in a five-match Test series against Pakistan at home. Australia whitewashed Pakistan in the series and they gained 4 rating points after the series. </p>

<p>India and Australia were holding 118 rating points before the series but at the conclusion of the series, India lost the long-held Number One spot in the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings. India are currently ranked second with 117 rating points in 32 matches and Australia have made some gains and now they are the number 1 Test side with 121 rating points in 34 matches.</p>



<p>England are ranked third in the ICC Test Team rankings. They have played the Ashes 2023 series in the new cycle. Winning two and losing two in the series and one being a draw, the series ended in balance. England cricket have gone south after the Ashes. They were mediocre during the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and now they have lost ODI and T20I series against West Indies.</p>

<p>England Cricket Team is on a tour of India where they are scheduled to play a five-match Test series. The first of the five tests is slated to be played from 25 January to 29 January 2024 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. </p>



<p>Down on the Table are South Africa. The Proteas successfully defended their foe and drew the series against India in a Two-match test series. They are currently ranked 4th with a rating of 106 in 24 matches.</p>



<p>Next are New Zealand and they have 95 ratings in 26 matches. Pakistan were very close to the fifth position before the start of the Australia tour but they lost all five test matches in Australia. The series loss resulted in the loss of rating points in the ICC Test Team rankings. Now, Pakistan are sixth with a rating of 89 points.</p>
